Trump presses Syria to take on Hezbollah, raising alarm in Lebanon and Israel

U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed that Syria, now led by Islamist President Ahmad al-Sharaa, take on Hezbollah in Lebanon instead of Israel, raising concerns in Lebanon and Israel. Syria's government denied plans to intervene, while tensions between Israel and Turkey, a key backer of Syria's new administration, have escalated. Trump criticized Israel's prolonged conflict with Hezbollah, suggesting Syria could act more precisely.
